Looks to the Future with “Let’s Talk About It" Premiering at Sid’s Gold Request Room on May 22nd

Much like an NBA player, I won’t quit because I got a bad foul call from the refs. I will get back on the court and slam dunk it in their face.””

— Von Decarlo, Host of Let's Talk About It with Coach Von

NEW YORK, NEW YORK, USA, May 15, 2019 /EINPresswire.com/ — Popular, stand-up comedian, author and broadcaster, Von Decarlo was the very first woman and comedian to host her own show on SiriusXM’s NBA channel, Coach Von’s Corner, that premiered in October and after five episodes was put on a “Holiday Hiatus” that never ended, and for the very first time, is publicly talking about her bizarre and untimely dismissal.

“I was very proud to be the first woman, and the first comedian, to host her own show on the SiriusXM NBA channel. I opened an entirely new audience to the channel with my diverse way of commentating on the games as well as players with their off the court endeavors. However, my show was cancelled without warning or a clear understanding as to why. I was just told that the nameless, faceless powers that be within their NBA partnership was uncomfortable with the content and my comedic approach,” says Decarlo. “I experienced an unbelievable amount of censorship during my season on the channel, which made the show a lot less fun than what it should have been for me. But, much like an NBA player, I won’t quit because I got a bad foul call from the refs. I will get back on the court and slam dunk it in their face.”

Von Decarlo, always one to keep her eyes on the future, continues her popular show, the Coach Von Podcast, in a new, different and exciting way beginning on May 22nd, with a live comedy show, following a live podcast, at New York City’s Sid’s Gold Request Room.

“That is exactly why I started my Patreon account where I can have candid conversations with athletes, comedians, actors and all kinds of notable personalities in a fun, uncensored, fearless way to give the fans what they want. Players are not just “shut up and dribble,” says Decarlo. “Much like comedians, they have amazing life experiences with unique perspectives on life, love, relationships, politics, pop culture, and more. Funded by the patrons low cost subscription, the Coach Von Podcast will be independently produced, enabling me to expand the conversation far beyond what the NBA channel on Sirius XM would allow, and I am excited to have the freedom to move past their untimely release of what was on the mark to becoming a hit show.”

The premiere of the special monthly edition of the Coach Von Podcast, Let’s Talk About It Live, will feature comedians Dave Temple, Alex English and Mike Yard, and a very special and rare live appearance by Garren James the creator and one of the stars of long-running Showtime series, Gigolos, who will sit down with the Von and the comedians and discuss the chosen topic of the evening.
